Too bad Vanuz, you should have gone to Trygg about 6 weeks earlier. ;) If I remember correctly, Nina and I were there on May 12th last year and the big pikes were boiling on the surface everywhere. This time of the year it's pretty slow (that's probably why the day card is so cheap :lol: ).

Here's one from that day.

We'll go back there in December for those big perch again. ;)

where can we buy your mullet flies in England or Denmark by mail order.

Back in the '50's we raised chickens in Mississippi. Fresh eggs are always good. The way we killed them was simply grab them by the head, wring the neck --until the head came off. They flopped around and bled a lot, but it was quick and efficient. No one in our family then was concerned about saving the feathers. I remember Mother "burning" the pen feathers and hairs off the skin before it was cooked. In those days, a chicken was only killed for special occassions -- like the preacher come home for dinner --{we always liked those days}. I just may get back into raising chickens!!

HI KASPER love eyes on my shrimp flies it just makes them more realistic,i melt 25pound nylon and burn ends with my lighter,they cool at once and are ready for use in seconds, but always crimp the stalks between a pair of pliers before tyinging in to make them very secure.

I bought #9-10 14' Vision 3Zone DH for practising how to cast double hands,but I made quite a big mistake (I think like all beginers) when I bought Spey line..I thauht that it will be quite easy to cast it,but I was wrong :D I bought Lee Wulff Triangle Taper Spey #9 I think.
Its head is wery long,so when I tried it I was wery sad :x It was imposible to cast it,becouse my casting skills was wery limited..
Some time ago EFFA flycasting instructor Reinis Rutkis (from Latvia) in his casting presentation told us about the main mistakes in double hands.He recommended to buy shooting head and runing line system and suggested us to use this: http://www.scierra.com/pwf1.htm
It is much lighter to cast rod with shooting head system than spey line and I experienced that :wink: So my Triangle Taper line will be in use when my skills will be better :) Also it is easier to learn casting with floating lines :idea:

I hope that I helped you a little :roll:[/quote:2a373736f6]

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

I have been doing some research over the past few days and I think the shooting head is definitely the best option, not to mention they are easier to cast with! I have had contact with a few norwegians too and they all recommend the shooting heads. The fact that you can simply change the head to suite the conditions is also a huge bonus :D

Cheers
